Bill
says in 2004:
That's why I supported the Iraq thing. There was a lot of stuff
unaccounted for. So I thought the President had an absolute
responsibility to go to the U.N. and say, "Look, guys, after 9/11, you
have got to demand that Saddam Hussein lets us finish the inspection
process." You couldn't responsibly ignore [the possibility that] a
tyrant had these stocks. I never really thought he'd [use them]. What I
was far more worried about was that he'd sell this stuff or give it
away. Same thing I've always been worried about North Korea's nuclear
and missile capacity. I don't expect North Korea to bomb South Korea,
because they know it would be the end of their country. But if you
can't feed yourself, the temptation to sell this stuff is overwhelming.
So that's why I thought Bush did the right thing to go back. When
you're the President, and your country has just been through what we
had, you want everything to be accounted for.
